** Gallagher typically hosted with a very low-key attitude and even reacted to million-dollar wins with little excitement (as seen in a clip from the 2009 finale). Larry Anderson, who preceded Gallagher, was generally much more animated. |

** Finn had hosted some sub-par shows previously, the most notable being the failed 1990s version of ''[[The Jokers Wild]]''.

This opened up the possibility of entire episodes where ''nobody'' spun the wheel, a hole that was patched when Anderson took over. |
